All students with residential meal plans — please review the information below regarding Spring 2026 meal plan changes.

• Meal Plan Downgrade Deadline:

Per the 2025–2026 Housing and Dining Agreement, students may request a meal plan downgrade for the semester (e.g., Unlimited ➜ 19 meals) up to seven (7) days after the semester meal plan start date. For Spring 2026, this deadline is January 18, 2026, as the semester meal plan begins on January 11, 2026.

• After January 18th:

 No downgrades will be permitted.

Only meal plan increases (e.g., 15 ➜ 19 meals) will be allowed.

Any flex dollars remaining at the end of the Fall 2025 semester will carry over to the Spring 2026 semester as long as you have an active meal plan.

Please review your dining needs and submit any downgrade requests before the deadline.
